The composition features a grid of alternating squares, each adorned with stylized geometric figures. The color palette encompasses shades of blue, yellow, beige, white, brown, taupe and gray, creating a balanced and soothing visual rhythm. Handwoven using the traditional rölakan technique, the rug showcases exceptional craftsmanship and durability. The two solid borders in melange gray and off-white frame the composition, providing a cohesive structure to the overall design. The monogram "C." woven into one corner signifies Carlander's authorship, adding a personal touch to this collectible piece. Inspired by traditional Northern European crafts, culture, and nature, this rug embodies unpretentious elegance and would serve as a refined addition to both contemporary and classic interiors. With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau's selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices. See less
